  • Note that it doesn’t prevent sso sharing. I was signed into Amazon and a separate Firefox (actually librewolf) tab I had opened looking up a movie star on… IMDb force created an account for me using my Amazon account. No I did not get a prompt to accept it and no I did not click anywhere near the login buttons. Seen that this has happened to a few people but not everyone so it’s almost like they’re slow rolling it.

    I’ve since isolated Amazon into its own profile altogether and added Amazon to unlock on my main browser profile. And of course requested deletion of my sudden imdb account



  • This!

    I also use it for SwiftBackup and some custom crons for scripts I run on the phone. It’s also very useful with pcapdroid when I want to analyze the traffic that apps are attempting to generate.

    I use root for being able to customize my phone greatly and with extra security benefits (like akunohana shared) while also bring able to degoogle. But if degoogling is the only thing you care about then there are other options, especially if you’re not fully adept to understanding the file system and/or Linux already.





  • Nintendo did something similar. They added to their privacy policy basically saying you grant permission to them monitoring chats, video, and audio through the switch (does switch even have a camera? I can’t remember). They say if you disagree you can login and delete your account. Catch is that when you log in, you can’t go to delete your account until you agree to the terms. And if you don’t acknowledge by the given deadline, you’re automatically agreeing to them.

    I contacted their privacy email and they basically said I had to agree first before I could delete my account. Literally impossible to deny the terms.

    I can keep ranting but I think I’ve made my point. They all suck.


  • So I’m definitely not familiar with swedish politics, but does this site actually represent the entire party? The party site is just a very vague description of some group of people that sound like they’re anti left and anti right at the same time. The Wikipedia article on the party doesn’t really help make sense to what they expect to accomplish, but again that could just be my ignorance to it.

    Would love to know more about all this, with more reliable sources if possible (vs a website that just says something without really providing sources). Mullvad is about trying to protect privacy with fighting big brother, and I’m really not seeing anything about the party that indicates it wants the opposite.



  • This is exactly how my network is setup. All devices log to my syslog server which I feed into a database with a self made python app, and Grafana goes from there. It’s been running nonstop for like 5 years without any problems, so I’d say your in the right path!

    It’s also helped me catch things like:

    • finding out android leaked IPs outside VPN tunnels on connect (prior to headlines claiming this)
    • finding out nslookup on termux ignores the phone’s DNS settings and tries to use Google instead
    • finding other devices that ignore my DNS server settings
    • noticing that my work Mac will turn itself on in some weird silent passive mode in the middle of the night to try and send data to apple (sleep or powered off don’t matter) - caught this from the logs sent by my router









  • I bought a separate laptop and set it up with an encrypted password that both my wife and I know. It contains instructions on everything from my self hosted stuff to anything else related to my personal life that she would need. It’s 100% offline to keep it safe from a network compromise. This whole thing was especially important since I wanted to make sure my family could access all photos, calendar, contacts, etc for the last decade that are stored on my server.

    It takes time to transfer everything to it (all in Obsidian) since it’s a brain dump… But it actually benefits me too. I’ve had a few times where I was like “how the hell did I set that up?” and had some instructions on there the helped lol.

    Definitely recommend this to others to consider.
